[Don't even break out the 'c' word with Diarmuid, Caster. He will shove it back down your throat with a smile even, since this is Ryoji's birthday party, and he's trying to be 'pleasant.']

I will give you credit for asking, but do not even try to say you have done no wrong. How many children back on your world will never see their parents again because of you and your master? How many will never be held, their fears quieted by loving arms again?

[His gaze turns sharp and though his voice is softer, it also holds an edge.]

Just because your precious Jeanne has forgiven you, doesn't mean anyone else has. That may not matter to you, but you should keep it in mind as you try to convince others you are being good. We want actions, not words.

Now, it has been stated that Ryoji cannot help you. You will need to find another way. This conversation is over.
